Ryan, I have two of the same. I divided them two years ago and they both bloomed last year...one in August and September and one in February. Now I have one that has one very tall spike with lots of branches and buds just waiting to pop, the other is also a nice tall spike, but just beginning to branch out. It is like the one plant is trying to catch up with the other!
These are my only onc alliance plants, but I definitely want to get more. Anything that blooms for me is a BIG plus. But I so look forward to the sweet scent it has. too. Besides, my son gave it to me for Christmas...very sentimental!
Enjoy! And thanks for sharing, so I can have a preview.

Thanks all! This plant has three spikes on it and the last two are quite large and heavily branched. I found a fuzzy white mealy today....ick! Just one though and I promptly destroyed it. I haven't seen any on my plants at all lately so I was surprised to see this one so boldly chewing a new bloom. So gross. I hate those bugs. But wow....I bet I have some 75 blooms on this plant now! I run my lights at night because it's a lower rate for electricity and because I grow in the basement, I can grow them whenever I want. Anyway, when I come home late at night from work the basement smells like these flowers right now. Love it!

Sorry for digging up this post, but how tall do the flower spikes get on this variety? I know that 'Heavenly' is supposed to be a more compact version of Onc. Sharry Baby 'Sweet Fragrance'.
Would you say that the fragrance is "overwhelming"? I have read that there are a lot of people think the fragrance is too strong...
